The 19th hole has long been a respite for weary golfers, a place to enjoy a cold beer and an assortment of fried foods while rehashing stories from the links.
These days golf has exploded in popularity, with millions of new players from all age groups and walks of life. That surge combined with the growing foodie culture has created a need for a completely different golf course dining experience.
Poppy Hills Golf Course in Pebble Beach has responded by transforming its old clubhouse café Porter’s Bar and Grill into a beautifully renovated restaurant called Porter’s in the Forest that includes a panoramic view of the Del Monte Forest, a re-imagined, farm-to-table menu, unique wine and cocktail lists, comfortable leather chairs, outdoor dining and fire pits.
